_Contributed by Mrs. Charles A. Farnum, Philadelphia, Pa._
One and one-half pint of beans if you do not soak them over night, 1 pint if you do, 1 teaspoon summer savory, 1 onion, if you like, a small bit of pork and boil with a beef bone, turkey or chicken bones. Put in your soup dish 1 lemon sliced, 4 eggs boiled hard and sliced, ½ tumbler wine, ½ of a large cup tomato catsup.
BEEF SOUP--(THE VERY BEST).
_Contributed by Mrs. Charles B. Maury, Washington, D. C._
Get a good shin of beef and break the bones well. Put on fire in 1 gallon of cold water and let simmer slowly for 6 hours, boil until scum ceases to rise, skimming well. Then add 2 turnips chopped fine, 2 carrots, 2 Irish potatoes, and in season ½ doz. ears of corn cut from cob adding cob and let remain until you thicken soup. Tomatoes and ochra are always the greatest improvement, 1 pint of each. The more tomatoes the better, either canned or fresh. Just before dinner thicken with about 1 teacup of flour well mixed with cold water. Browning the flour gives a better flavor. Boil a few minutes after adding flour.
